About Me

About Me: The Prediabetes Fighter

Hi, I'm S Yan, a 30-year-old prediabetes fighter.

My Story

In 2022, I was diagnosed with prediabetes. My fasting blood glucose was 113 mg/dL (6.3 mmol/L), and my doctor warned me I was on the path to type 2 diabetes.

Instead of accepting this fate, I decided to fight back.

My Mission

This blog documents my real, evidence-based journey to reverse prediabetes by December 2026. I'm targeting:
- FBG: 113 → less than 100 mg/dL
- Sustainable lifestyle changes, not crash diets
- Full transparency: wins, failures, and everything in between

My Approach

All content is aligned with:
- ADA (American Diabetes Association) Standards of Care
- CDC Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) guidelines
- NIH/NIDDK research evidence

I will find diet and habit recommendation from these authorities, and try to follow them in my daily life to achieve better health.

I’m 30 and Prediabetic. Can I Reverse My Blood Sugar in One Year?

  Last updated : February 17, 2026 My doctor didn't mince words last month. "Your fasting blood sugar is 113. You're prediabetic. Without changes, you'll have type 2 diabetes in 5 years." I'm 30. I have a desk job. I like rice and late-night snacks. And I've been sitting on this warning for three years . Three Years of Ignoring the Same Number Year Fasting Blood Glucose What I Did 2022 113 mg/dL (6.3 mmol/L) Nothing. Told myself I'd "eat better." 2023 115 mg/dL (6.4 mmol/L) Nothing. Work got busy. 2024 113 mg/dL (6.3 mmol/L) Nothing. Still feeling fine. 2025 115 mg/dL (6.4 mmol/L) Started worrying, "I need to change that." Same range. Three years. Zero action. Because I used to think it was because I ate too much rice the day before the health check-up, but since it has been happening for these consecutive years, I have to believe I am now in the pre-diabetic stage. The number hasn't killed...

Why Am I Prediabetic at 30? A Programmer’s Honest Breakdown

  Last updated: February 18, 2026 When my doctor told me I was prediabetic at 30, I stared at her like she’d misread my chart. “But I’m not overweight,” I said. “I’m 60kg, BMI 22—isn’t that ‘healthy’?” She didn’t mince words: “Health isn’t just about the number on the scale. Your fasting blood sugar has hovered around 113 mg/dL (6.3 mmol/L) since 2022—four years of ignoring small habits that add up to big problems.” I’m a programmer, and looking back, my daily routine was a perfect storm for prediabetes. No extreme diets, no family history of diabetes—just small, consistent choices that slowly pushed my blood sugar into the “warning zone.” Here’s the unfiltered truth about why I’m prediabetic at 30, and what I’m doing to fix it. 1.
